The world is full of moving images. Think of the number of movies you have seen this month. Think of the number of video recordings that are uploaded to YouTube every minute. In a world where screens have become more prevalent, it makes sense that we should expand our understanding of what is considered a text. This course explores film as literary text, more specifically focusing on how theme is developed through this medium. These emerging ideas and observations will then be considered within the larger framework of providing new perspectives on societal and cultural concerns.
